Cabin Porn

I have been looking at this website way too much called Cabin Porn. It has really nice pictures of a variety of different kinds of cabins from all over the world. It makes me want a cabin in the woods where I could have a big, organic garden and fall asleep to the sounds of mountain wildlife. Falling asleep to the sounds of cars and people going down the street isn't really cutting it right now. I want a little cabin where I can paint and read books undisturbed. And buy old, quality, solid wood furniture from thrift and antique stores that no one wants and refinish them.

Why do I want so many things??? Too many things are complicating my life!!! One second I want to travel and live all over the world and the next I just want my own little permanent space to develop and to call my own and live in. It is pretty hard to do both. And generally requires lots of dinero.

It is very tempting and tantalizingly possible to just build our own little cabin up on Spyrock on his parents property and do all of the above things. Evan could partner with his dad in his real estate business and I could grow all of our food.

The only problem is that I would miss out on all of the intellectual stimulation that studying and working as a botanist has to offer. AND there is not much of a social out in the middle of nowhere and that is something that I really enjoy. Not that there is anything wrong with scraping out a living so one can live somewhere they want to live, but it doesn't really leave much extra cash or time to travel. And if one leaves the real world to live off the grid, it just makes it that much harder to go back if one decides living the pioneer lifestyle isn't all it is cracked up to be.

So many things to think about...
